What is Bean Curd?

Bean curd, also known as tofu is made from curdling soy milk that is then pressed into blocks. The result varies in texture from a soft silky tofu, to a denser more textured block that can be chopped and pan crisped. Tofu is white and has a very bland flavor that makes it an excellent vehicle for any variety of flavors. It is commonly used in East Asian dishes, such as soups or stir fries, though has become popular across many cuisines as a vegan alternative to meat.

Ingredients

soybeans

Mature soybeans are harvested once the pod has grown for roughly 100 days and the bean becomes dry. Soybeans are small and round with a creamy golden-tan color. They are a legume and extremely versatile. Soybeans are used to make tofu, flour, oil, sauces and much more. The dry soybean is hard until cooked. The flavor is bland and mild.

salt

Salt is a mineral composed mostly of sodium chloride. It is the main flavoring used in food and is naturally occurring in certain foods, such as cheese, beets, meat and celery, plus many others. Salt is white and has finer granules than sugar. Many commercial salts include iodide, while others exclude it. Most salts are white, while some are naturally pale pink with minerals. Salt brings out the flavor of something and can create a tangy mouthfeel, if used in excess.

wine

Cooking wine is exactly what it sounds like, wine created and used specifically for cooking. Any wine can be used in food preparation, but cooking wine is less expensive, less complex in flavor and not made to drink. Cooking wine comes in reds, whites, sweet wines and rice wines. Each one suits specific dishes and is poured in to a sauce, gravy, meat, etc. and lends depth of flavor and richness. The alcohol cooks out via the heat source, leaving only the wine flavor.

soy flour

Soy flour is a product made from dehulled and heat processed soybeans. It may also be made from defatted soybean flakes. Because soy is not a grain, but a legume containing protein, soy flour is also a high protein powder that is used as a flour. It has a creamy pale yellow color and has an extremely fine texture. The flavor is mild and slightly nutty. It is used to bind baked goods and to thicken soups and sauces.

rice

Rice is a grain that is used across the world. It is roughly 5mm in length and white. Some varieties of rice are thin, while others are more rounded and fat. Rice is a starch and when uncooked it is dry and hard. Many of these tiny grains are needed to make one serving size. When cooked, rice becomes soft while still holding its form. The flavor of rice is mild, and bland. It goes well as a side dish to spicier items and is incredibly versatile as an appetizer, main course and even dessert.

water

Water is a substance and chemical compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen. It is clear, fluid, flavorless and odorless. Water is a necessity in nearly every aspect of life, including cooking, baking and hydrating the human body. Water can be served as a cold beverage, or at any temperature comfortable to the mouth and skin.
